<p>An interest has been established in the identification, documentation and classifi- cation of the environmental assumptions that are missing from the original PACE- MAKER System Specification. This thesis addresses the presented challenge and documents the procedure used to identify, classify, and document these missing en- vironmental assumptions.</p> <p>In summary, this thesis answers the following questions: <ol> <li></p> <p>What can be done in order to improve the original PACEMAKER System</p> <p>Specification with respect to environmental assumptions? </li> <li></p> <p>Why is it beneficial, in terms of enhancing software quality, to include the doc- umentation of environmental assumptions – which sometimes are (wrongfully) perceived as being collateral and optional – as part of the software requirements document? </li> <li></p> <p>How should such environmental assumptions be documented? </li> </ol></p> <p>More specifically, this thesis • Presents an abstract model for the PACEMAKER system. • Identifies system boundaries and interfaces in the PACEMAKER model. • Identifies environmental assumptions for the PACEMAKER system.</p> <p>• Presents a classification system for the environmental assumptions identified for the PACEMAKER system based on the proposed model.</p> <p>• Proposes a process for identifying environmental assumptions.</p> <p>Furthermore, the research findings presented in this thesis are not limited to the PACEMAKER system. The documentation convention proposed in this thesis is meant to be generalized and can be extended to address similar documentation needs posed by all kinds of software systems. Additionally, the process of environmental assumptions elicitation described in this thesis provides a useful reference for con- ducting similar assumption identification projects. Lastly, the classification system presented in this thesis for the environmental assumptions exhibits one facet of a grander conceptual system – one that incorporates multiple ‘views’ of the same set of assumptions, with each view being distinguished by a unique set of classification criteria.</p> / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Cette thèse, portant sur la conception de grammaires de référence pour les locuteurs de langues minoritaires, se veut une contribution au développement d'une discipline émergente des sciences du langage, la grammaticographie, discipline qui cherche à promouvoir et à encadrer la description grammaticale des langues du monde, surtout celles qui sont peu documentées et menacées de disparition. Plus précisément, nous proposons dans notre travail un cadre et des principes d'ordre théorique, méthodologique et pratique en vue de construire cette grammaticographie, mais en nous intéressant spécifiquement aux besoins et aux attentes des locuteurs de langues minoritaires, et ce, en nous basant sur notre expérience de grammairienne de la langue innue (langue amérindienne parlée au Québec) et sur notre projet d'une grammaire pour ces locuteurs. Nous traitons un certain nombre de questions et de problèmes auxquels nous nous sommes heurtée dans la mise en œuvre de notre entreprise et nous proposons, à partir de notre champ d'expérimentation qu'est la langue innue, nos solutions, avec l'objectif d'établir les bases d'une grammaticographie s'adressant prioritairement aux locuteurs de langues sous-documentées, premiers acteurs de la survie de leurs langues. Après avoir défini ce que nous entendons par grammaire de référence, nous étudions la question cruciale du choix du ou des destinataires d'une grammaire de langue minoritaire, puis nous examinons les objectifs, l'approche théorique et l'organisation structurale ou fonctionnelle à privilégier pour ce type d'ouvrage qui vise principalement les locuteurs non spécialistes. Nous traitons ensuite du contenu proprement dit de la grammaire, sous différents angles, dont ceux relatifs à la forme et au fond, en nous attardant plus particulièrement aux questions qui ont trait à la langue de rédaction, au métalangage et à la terminologie grammaticale, à la norme et à la variation dialectale, à l'étendue et à la profondeur de la description grammaticale, au choix des faits linguistiques faisant l'objet de la description, à l'organisation matérielle de l'ouvrage, à la présentation des exemples servant à soutenir le texte grammatical, à la place donnée aux informations non grammaticales ou non linguistiques. Parmi les solutions retenues pour la grammaire de l'innu, mentionnons la proposition d'une grammaire multiniveaux pour tenir compte de lectorats diversifiés, le choix du locuteur enseignant de langue comme public cible prioritaire, l'organisation du contenu selon une perspective mixte structurale et fonctionnelle, le choix d'une langue de grande diffusion comme langue de rédaction et pour le métalangage. Les situations linguistiques de communautés de langues minoritaires ne sont pas partout les mêmes, mais nous croyons que plusieurs des principes grammaticographiques proposés pour la langue innue pourront être utiles aux locuteurs de ces langues moins documentées. / This dissertation, a study of how reference grammars can be developed for speakers of minority languages, contributes to the newly emerging field of grammaticography, the science devoted to the grammatical description of languages, particularly those which are poorly documented and endangered. The present study addresses fundamental theoretical, methodological and practical concerns related arising in grammaticography, taking as an example key issues arising in the development of a grammar for native speakers of Innu, an Amerindian language spoken in Quebec. Starting from an analysis of problems encountered in the course of documenting the grammar of Innu, this dissertation explores how grammaticography can best respond to the specific and very urgent needs of speakers of endangered and poorly documented languages. The study opens with an analysis of the concept of reference grammar. It then considers how potential users of reference grammars can be identified in minority language contexts and how grammars can be structured in order to meet the needs of users who are native speakers of the language without being language specialists. The study next addresses the problem of content, considering both what to include and how to include it. In this section particular attention is paid to making metalinguistic and terminological choices, establishing grammatical norms and handling regional variations, deciding on the depth and breadth of grammatical description to include, selecting grammatical points to include, organizing the selected content optimally, choosing and integrating illustrative examples, and including key non linguistic information. Next follows a discussion of the various solutions arrived at in the case of writing a reference grammar for the Innu language. Among these figure the use of a multilevel approach designed to address the needs of a varied reading public, the selection of teachers as the target audience, the organization of content according to a hybrid structural-function approach, and the decision to write the grammar in a majority language. Although the challenges posed by the creation of minority language reference grammars vary substantially from one context to the next, it is hoped that many of the basic grammaticographie principles developed within the framework of this study will prove useful to others engaged in reference grammar writing in the case of endangered and poorly documented languages.

Mobilizing the format and legacy of the cabaret genre, the Chez Michou project intertwines the image of the French singer and drag artist Michou with a poetic reflection on disorientation. The bodies on the stage activate a queer spatiality that erases the border between the inner and outer world, between abstraction and the reality of fiction. Guiding the imagination in the confusion of identity, the choreography reveals a cartography of dislocation saturated with vivid textures of objects, gestures and words. The collapse of heteronormative structures is radicalized through the possibility of flesh to oppose fixed coordinates and perform a subject that is somehow out of place. The choreographic language is associated with the mystical insights and screenwriting actions of the cult American director David Lynch. Dramaturgy supported by musical quotes from feminist and activist icons: British music diva Annie Lennox, female post-punk band Le Tigre and iconic queer synth pop ensemble Visage Chez Michou functions as an invitation to lose ourselves, celebrates the disappearing horizon and returns to the affective territories of Otherness. The performance work "Chez Michou" is accompanied by a Choreographic Object / Object called SPOMENAR / Queer Archive of feelings as its complementary, but also independent part. Both works were premiered to the public on May 26 and 27, 2024 at the Modern Dance Theater (MDT) in Stockholm as part of the graduation mini festival. works by students of the master's degree in choreography at the University of the Arts in Stockholm.

In this text, we consider the documentation of festivals of media arts and the relationship between an expanded sense of documentation and the writing of art histories against traditional institutional contexts and discourses. The essay starts by drawing the context in which festivals of media arts are considered historically, their activities, and how they relationship to media arts informs their position in relation to institutional discourses. Secondly, the text maps out the kinds of records of festivals that exist, considering private and public and internal and external documents which serve as artefacts of exhibitions and programmes. Thirdly, it considers how we might value and historicise media arts prior to their entry into institutional space.
